The John Witte Jr. Lecture Series is an annual public forum for discussing the relationship between Christianity and the law. The next lecture will be hosted by Trinity Law School on January 9, 2027, featuring Professor Robert George of Princeton University.
Professor George is a preeminent scholar of natural law, political philosophy and religious freedom. His most recent book Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment, explores some of the most divisive issues facing American society today. In it, he argues that modern culture establishes beliefs not based on faith or reason but emotions, leading to a completely subjective understanding of morality. According to Professor George, this impacts our understanding of contentious topics including human dignity, the definition of marriage, philosophy of law, constitutional law, the nature of civil liberties, free markets, and others. As an educator, Professor George believes it is imperative that our teachers instill a sense of objective truth in the classroom—“a teacher’s sacred mission is to form his students to be determined truth seekers and courageous truth speakers.”
We are honored to host a speaker so closely aligned with the mission of Trinity Law School to form virtuous attorneys in the Christian legal tradition for the common good and love of neighbor.
